Chapter 700

"Keepsake?"

Shao Xue repeated these two words.

Zang ling'er knew she didn't understand what it meant.

She asked her to open the box: "open it and see what's inside."

Shao Xue heard Zang ling'er say so, then she went to open the box.

The mahogany box has a sense of age, simple and exquisite. It seems to have the feeling of time passing through.

Shao Xue slowly opened the box and saw a delicate Green Sandalwood comb lying in it.

She twisted her eyebrows and became more puzzled: "this is Comb? "

Shao Xue felt a little strange, and thought that the things handed over from Zang ling'er's hand would be expensive treasures.

But I don't want to. It's just a fine and simple comb.

"It's a comb."

"Take this to see the old man of the Luo family Is that all right? "

Shao Xue is more puzzled.

When she started from Yuncheng, song Yunxuan had already told her to go to Zang's house to get something before she could meet Luo's old man.

She went to see the old man of the Luo family, in order to let the old man of the Luo family promise to marry her.

However, just with a Green Sandalwood comb, how can the Luo family allow him to do so?

Her fingers were holding the Green Sandalwood comb, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she couldn't understand why.

Zang ling'er looks at her frown and knows that she doesn't know much about the Luo family.

So he said, "you only see this comb, but you don't see anything other than this one."

"Well?"

Shao Xue looks at Zang ling'er.

Zang ling'er relaxed to smile for a while, stretched out his hand to hold Shao Xue's finger, let her sit on the sofa: "when the Luo family old man was young, he loved his wife very much."

Shao Xue took the comb in her hand and understood it: "is this the comb used by the old man's wife?"

"That's right. It's a token of their love."

Zang ling'er smiles.

Shao Xue understood: "see this comb, the old man will think of his wife, right?"

"Yes," Zang ling'er nodded, and then said, "the old man's wife is not beautiful, but she loves him very much. The old man also loves his wife very much, and in the 30 years since his wife died, he didn't continue to look for another woman."

"Thirty years..."

Shao Xue thought for a moment.

Now the old man is 75 years old, that is to say, he was only 45 years old when he lost his spouse 30 years ago.

At the age of 45, it's not too hard for a man to find a daughter-in-law.

Especially rich and excellent men.

However, the old man did not find another woman, but continued to live alone until now.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand how much you miss and feel for your wife.

If you don't have such deep and unforgettable feelings, how can you live alone with your children for so many years after your wife's death?

Shao Xue holding delicate Green Sandalwood comb in both hands, some sigh, but also some moved.

Zang ling'er added: "the old man's wife helped him a lot when he was young and started a business. Moreover, she suffered a lot and even saved him with her own life."

Shao Xue pursed her lips: "that lady is really a good wife."

"But she died too early and didn't enjoy a few years of happiness. When the old man's career was getting better and better, the lady began to get sick. After five or six years in bed, she still couldn't survive. She died in the winter 30 years ago."

Zang ling'er also sighed.

Shao Xue looked at Zang ling'er: "where did you get this comb from?"

"That's a story." Zang ling'er's lips curved and her eyes looked at Shao Xue with a smile.

Shao Xue also smiles: "would you like to tell me this story?"

"Three or two words can make things clear, why not tell you." Zang ling'er took the comb from her hand, then looked at the comb teeth and the sandalwood on the back of the comb, and said, "this comb was made by a family of comb makers in those years. It might have been very rare 30 years ago, but it was very common 50 years ago. At that time, the old man of Luo family was in the low ebb of his life and career. His wife saw that his investment failed, but he didn't My family had pawnshop branch business since one hundred years ago, and Luoxi grandmother's comb was pawned in my pawnshop. It is said that the person who received the comb at that time said that the comb was not worth money, that is, the price of a needle and thread, but the wife took it I hesitated for a long time before I became a comber. My grandmother was also a collector of her daughter's household goods. When she went to the store, she saw the comber in the hands of the clerk. She thought she liked it very much, so she asked about the origin and took the comber with her. ""It's a rare thing that this comb can last for 50 years." Shao Xue was a little surprised.

Zang ling'er smiles: "you don't know much about our Zang family. My grandfather is a very smart man. He is always good at collecting all kinds of useful things. This comb was used by my grandmother. About two or three years later, the career of the old man of the Luo family started slowly. When my grandfather heard about the origin of this comb, he kept it. Later, he heard about the old man of the Luo family The master once asked someone to find out where the comb was, so he was more interested and put it on the Bogu shelf of Cangtian Pavilion. "

Shao Xue understood and didn't understand.

If song Yunxuan was here at the moment, she would tell her that there were all kinds of things on the Cangtian Pavilion Bogu shelf of the Zang family that had a restraining effect on people, and this comb just played a role in making the old man of the Luo family change his mind.

Zang ling'er didn't continue to talk about the Zang family in depth, but said, "go to see the Zang family after lunch."

"Well." Shao Xue nodded.

Zang ling'er said, "don't be nervous. I'll send you there."

"Thank you."

Shao Xue is polite and polite. Zang ling'er has a good feeling for her.

Lunch was well prepared by the servants at home.

Zang ling'er made an appointment with master Luo the day before yesterday. The master sent a message that they could go there if they had time this afternoon.

However, the specific time, the old man there did not give a clear answer.

Shao Xue and Zang ling'er both think that it's better to go early for this kind of thing, and they seem sincere.

He went to visit the old man at Luo's home at two o'clock.

After hearing Zang ling'er bring another girl over, the housekeeper of Luo's family smiles and answers, "sorry, our old man is resting. Please wait a moment."

Zang ling'er is about to ask the housekeeper when an old man wakes up.

Shao Xue stopped her and said, "I'll wait. Please let us know when the old man wakes up."

The housekeeper heard Shao Xue say so, nodded: "good."

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Zang ling'er looks at Shao Xue.

Shao Xue said with a smile: "there is nothing to worry about. Just wait for a moment. The rest of the old people can't be disturbed."

Zang ling'er also followed with a smile: "that's what I said."

Two people are waiting in the living room.

The servants did not come to serve them tea or talk to them.

Two people have the feeling of being hung in the living room.

Shao Xue and Zang ling'er are both sharp and intelligent people.

After realizing that he was neglected by the Luo family, Zang ling'er said with a smile, "I think the old man wants to give you some pain."

Maybe the old man didn't rest, but deliberately didn't see them.

After all, Zang ling'er didn't tell him that he would come with Shao Xue when he met him.

Now Shao Xue came, the old man not only did not see them, but also felt that Zang ling'er deliberately used this method, and began to be dissatisfied with Zang ling'er.

Shao Xue said: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Shao Xue apologizes to Zang ling'er.

Zang ling'er said with a smile, "what's the trouble?"

Then he said, "give me the box in your hand."

Shaoxue heard Zang ling'er want to take the box, then quickly handed the box to Zang ling'er.

Zang ling'er said, "you wait here. I'll leave and come back soon."

Shao Xue nodded.

Zang ling'er is going upstairs.

As soon as Zang ling'er went upstairs, the housekeeper stopped her immediately: "sorry, Miss Zang, our master is resting now."

Zang ling'er said with a smile: "in this case, please give this to your master for me."

Zang ling'er hands the mahogany box to housekeeper sister Xu.

Housekeeper Xu frowned and reached for the box.

Because the box was originally made of mahogany, there was no way to guess what it was.

Sister Xu did not ask what was inside.

Zang ling'er added: "please tell me that Miss Shao Xue brought it."

When housekeeper Xu heard Zang ling'er say this, he became more and more curious and puzzled.

However, due to occupation, we should not ask more questions.

You can only go to the luojiachi with both hands holding the box.

Where is the rest of luojiachi? It's just practicing calligraphy in the study.

The spirit is also very good.

Housekeeper Xu knocked on the door of the study, and heard the old man say, "come in."

Housekeeper Xu pushes the door in.The old man continued to practice calligraphy without raising his head. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful.

Housekeeper Xu saw that the old man didn't look up, so he had to say in a voice: "master, Miss Shao outside asked me to give you this thing."

Luo Jiachi heard Xu Jie's words, looked down at the words drawn out by the nib, and hummed coldly: "it's a smart girl, and the news is also well-informed. It seems that Luo Xi has already told her that I don't agree with them together, so he is anxious to send things to please me."

Xu Guanjia said: "master, do you want to open it?"

Luo Jiachi finished writing a word "Min", put the brush on the nearby pen hill and said, "take it and have a look. I'll see if she can do what I like."

When the housekeeper heard the old man's command, he went to open the mahogany box and showed it to the luojiachi.

The housekeeper couldn't see the contents of the box.

But I can see the expression on luojiachi's face.

When Luo Jiachi saw the things in the box, his pupils shrank and his eyes widened in shock.
